<< Czech 정부, Dukovany New Build 사업, 정책 결정 >> 1. 체코 Dukovany & Temelin 원전 건설 사업 최대 4기로 확대 l 체코 정부, 다호기 도입에 따른 가격 경쟁력 상승을 고려 최대 4기로 신규 원전 확대 도입 결정 l Westinghouse와 Bechtel이 제안한 제안서는 이들의 귀책 사유로 준공이지연되는 경우 페날티 부과에 대한 조항이 없어 탈락 결정 l 최종 후보자인 KHNP와 EDF는 2024년 4월 15일까지 최대 4기 건설에 대한 Proposal을 제안해야 함 l 체코 정부 6월말 최종 사업자 선정 예정 l 미 정부의 강력한 지원을 업은 Westinghouse와 Bechtel의 향후 대응책도잘 지켜 볼 필요
l 체코 정부가 최대 4기 원전 건설을 위해 어떤 새로운 Financing Model을강구할지도 지켜 봐야 l The US-based nuclear vendor, which had teamed up with construction company Bechtel for the Czech tender, did not respond immediately to requests for comment about the decision.
l The government also announced it is amending the ongoing tender with the remaining bidders, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP) and Electricite de France (EDF). KHNP and EDF will now be asked to make firm bids by mid-April for up to four new reactors in total to be built at CEZ's Dukovany and Temelin plant sites, the government said. CEZ will send its evaluation of the tenders to the government by the end of May.
l "During the tender, which included non-binding options, it was shown that construction of more units, that is up to four reactors in one package, over a period of time would be significantly more advantageous than we expected, with the cost up to 25% lower per reactor," the government said.
l On the basis of the new bids, the government will decide how many reactors will be built, it added. l Minister for Industry and Trade Jozef Sikela added during a government press conference Jan. 31 that construction of more
reactors could be expected to "optimize" the construction process and also offer the chance of a greater share of the overall work and contracts being placed with Czech companies.
l Construction work on the first new Dukovany reactor was expected under the initial tender to start in 2029, with the reactor being ready for operation in 2035.
l The timing of construction and location of follow up reactors was an ongoing question. l During the press conference, Sikela said that problem with Westinghouse's bid was that it was "not binding" and therefore could not be compared with those from the other two vendors.
l The Czech government expected a turnkey reactor at the end of the process and Westinghouse-Bechtel's offer did not, for example, include penalties for failing to meet deadlines or other guarantees that the Czech government was seeking, he added.
